I apologize for confusing the issue. Apparently, CARP on IPv6 does
not work on Via chips:
% cat /etc/hostname.carp1 carp1: flags=8803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
carp: INIT carpdev vge0 vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 0 groups:
carp inet6 fec0::f:213:49ff:fe17:4dc8 prefixlen 64
but does on fxp0:
% cat /etc/hostname.carp1 carp1:
flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
carp: MASTER carpdev fxp0 vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 0 groups:
carp inet6 fe80::f:290:27ff:fedf:5f0b%carp1 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x9
I will need to rearrange the cables and put IPv6 off of the vge
interfaces.
